OK, I'm a bit slow here -- if you put the guide blade on the fold, then the needle would be stitching a quarter inch to the left of the fold??? (I'm using a Janome quarter inch foot where the blade is attached to the side of the little foot prong.)

For both you and prm, I believe there are two different feet we are talking about. One is a quarter inch guide for stitching 1/4 inch seams and the other is a "stitch in the ditch foot" which has a little blade that is aligned with the needle. When she lines up her "blade" with the folded line she is actually stitching on that line. Is that clear as mud?? :)[/quote]

I'm an idiot -- now I see. I wasn't thinking about the right foot. Half-zheimers really bad this morning.
Great hint Deb -- now I know why all your blocks are so even. My Janome has the stitch in ditch foot that fits with the accufeed system, so that should really work well. Thanks.
